Vinous - Neal Martin (91)The 2018 Grand Corbin has a lush, candied bouquet of black cherries and crème de cassis, all very seductive, but the vanilla-y oak seems nicely enmeshed. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins that lend a little more structure than I expected when I tasted from barrel. Salted licorice mingles with truffle toward the finish, which feels reassuringly long. Enjoy this over the next 12–15 years. |
